Another younger Republican, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), had opposed Hagel out of concern that his financial disclosures have not been sufficient. Paul, a small-government conservative who, like his father former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), holds views that are usually at odds with neoconservatives and centrist Republicans, opposed lifting the filibuster in both cloture votes, but he ended up voting for Hagel in the actual confirmation.
Yes, I am chagrined. I don’t believe he did that. This whole Hagel thing has proven the GOP in the Senate are a bunch of worthless political hacks. And it’s on display for the world to see.
Sh*t, we deserve to lose.
